IMO it's more likely that LSH and the BWB would use Jaime to their advantage before killing him. Maybe to gain entrance to Riverrun or the Twins for some Red Wedding revenge? I just don't see Jaime dying upon meeting up w/ LSH and the BWB, I just think it's too obvious given the hole cliffhanger IMO.

they sent tom o sevens there.

I'm going to run Dynasty (invites should have been sent). I am in for any other leagues and will commish any needed.

i have not received an invite to dynasty

it should be in yahoo mail right?

posted this elsewhere but i will run keeper. yahoo keeps the draft info which is pretty much what you need to know for that league

still definitely in for survivor. (formerly lanza rota if thats not obvious) as well as any continuing league i was in before, (dynasty/keeper) also in for any type of auction

bravo. very good episode. possibly even the best of the season as an episode. closed out a very mediocre season quite well

I didn't think the Yunkai parts fit in this episode, though I did sit up in my seat thinking that we would get a story of Rhagaer from Baristan but we didn't, which left me thinking, why we got Yunkai in this episode.

yeah. by far the biggest killer of this episodes rating. yunkaii stuff should have been pushed to next week or last

I suppose it was a joke. But that was a pretty good episode.

no it makes sense, especially in the context of the current episode. both were well above par for their respective series, and both had one incredible scene.

the red wedding and the scene with brandon and david in the radio booth. ( i dont know if this episode had a particular line as good as "it doesnt matter what you say about someone once their dead, it matters how you treat while theyre still here")

annnd, both were far from the pinnacle of their series (blackwater and one wedding and a funeral)

Definitely. Crawl Space was easily better than Face Off and is my favourite BrBa episode. The ending like the previous poster said is just sheer perfection!

And I don't know if we're allowed to go off-topic but, Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones? What do you guys think?

to quote the greatest scene of all time: "tell me this is a joke."

whoever wrote the dialogue between robb and talisa for this episode, should have been writing robb/talisa scenes for the last two years. for the first time they seemed natural together, like two people that actually liked each other. if they had always been like this, the whole plotline would have made a lot more sense.

certainly one of the best two or three of the season (maybe the best) and almost the best by a good margin.

it showed a. that the writers are capable of great things when they sit down and plan to write an episode of television, and not a compilation of scenes

and b. that too often, they just mash things together. the dany scenes were just stuck in there and would have been better off in another episode when they could have breathed a bit more. extending the run up to the massacre would have made the episode even better

Can someon pls help me remember?

In this episode Stannins named all of those usurpers who will die, but while reading the books i never understood who it was that actually killed Joffrey.

Balon was killed by Melisandres ghost i think i have read?

Robb was killed by the Freys, cause of the betrayal and cause they complot with Lannister?

Did i miss who it was that killed Joffrey?

And please correct me if my facts are wrong!

/L

yes, guess you missed it. it was olenna, although littlefinger and presumably margery at least were in on it.

and its not for sure how balon dies. it could have been mel, but i think euron is the more likely culprit. or just an unlucky fall

when she says the same names, shes supposed to be seeing the future, not making it happen

I pray that GRRM kills off Mary Sue-Sansa soon so we can stop hearing from her fans.

because mary sues are always portrayed as shallow and vain

solid i guess, not among the worst of the season, not among the best.

:agree:

They have a few more seasons till theon becomes reek do they need so many scenes in every episode with him. personally i think they could have even waited to introduced "boy" next season. They could have used the time with Robb n Cat since its only two more episodes till "rains of castamere" instead they give robb two minutes of sex scene filler.

but they cant keep the actor on retainer. they have to use him every season, or he might be unavailable when they want him again

First of all its not "Westerosi" its common. Common was brought over to Westeros by the Andals, who came from the Eastern Continent to begin with. Yunkai is a MAJOR port city with a ton of trade. Im sure most of the upper class can speak common, among several language, as it greatly benefits their trade. I

well sorta like how we call spanish, "spanish" but spanish peopel dont. im sure that folks from the east call the language westerosi. it isnt common to them,

but no, it isnt surprising that he would speak it.

I haven't seen Ran in here bashing every little thing about the show like usual. I wonder why. :dunno:

I find it delicious that the worst episode of the season was penned by GRRM, it makes this weeks forum discussion so bogus.

cmon. this was only the second worst. how quickly we forget how terrible episode two was.

When people say "nothing really happened" what were they hoping to happen exactly?

for me, a great hour of television like last week.

this one was so-so. not as bad as some of the meandering season two episodes but there wasnt a strong story here.

better than anything weve seen this year.

its actually mindboggling that the same people that built this episode ok'd the structural mess that was the first two episodes,

The problem is also that her parent´s do both have dark hair. I think I already said that in this thread, but I think it might be some greyscale-related discoloration.

that could be, but i wish they would clarify at some point. but just because genetics and hair color regarding the baratheon family ahs been, umm, a major plot point

Easily tnebest of theseason. Id say an 8.8-8.9.

Not perfect but ittold stories. Much less a collection of scenes than most have been.

Congratulations, you've discovered television!

Also, there are probably more BookTywin fans than BookRobb fans.

Youmean, he's discovred television that is not donethat well.

i feel like a lot of these high ratings are going by the high notes. to each his own and all that, but it seems a strange way to do it

7, not as good as last week, although a better bunch of scenes at the end.

quite a bit of fluff in the middle, and still, its just a collection of scenes, not really a complete episode.

They should watch more shows because they liked something more than you did? Because they found something they couldn't complain about, and were completely happy with? Oookay, buddy.

well to consider that perfect television.......i would believe that they are missing out on a lot of stuff that is much much better

it was a pretty good episode but far from perfect

The Jaime scene at the end was great. About Locke's motivation being flimsy- well, Vargo wasn't necessarily the smartest guy either. Vargo thought cutting off Jaime's hand meant to send the message to Tywin that he meant business. Real smart move there.

no they explained vargos motivation, and the spot he was in. having betrayed tywin already and finding himself on a foreign confident without any real allies. he wanted to diminish the value that jamie had for bolton.

it hasnt been established why locke would want to do that. and as lock has been presented, doesnt make too much sense

I give this a 10/10. Perfect television.

really should watch some more shows.

anyways, this was probably the best of the season. but not better than an 8. still a bit disjointed

much better than last week. both the arya and jaime stories were fuller than anything we got last week, and everything seemed to work much better as a result.

really dont think think they shoudl have run them back,. the first episode might have seen like the first of a two part pilot, but that was mostly because it was bad and offered only chunks.

this week was not the conclusion to that pilot, it was an actual episode of television. it would have suffered by being attached to last weeks unrelated stories

Valar dohaeris is the answer for greeting Valar morghulis in high valyrian. It's used by specific people in specific places. In season 2 Jaqen instructs Arya to say Valar morghulis and gives her a small coin. I've read all books, and I know exactly when it's used. Thats why Im asking why did they name the episode 'Valar dohaeris'???

a because the finale was valar morghulis, and b because the theme of serving is present a lot in the scenes

that style of episode is possibly the thing i like the least about the show. have several of these unconnected scenes share a theme, as opposed to giving the episode any form of cohesion in plot. it gives critics something to write about doesnt do much for quality, imo
